AvaTrade launches despite coronavirus pandemic
According to AvaTrade, the company has decided to launch the new mobile platform despite these uncertain times, with COVID-19 posing an increasing effect on economies, as it maintains business as usual.
Having a mobile app version of a trading platform is becoming increasingly crucial for brokers. In fact, according to a report from Investment Trends, having a mobile version of an investment platform is a key differentiator for investors, as Finance Magnates reported.
Today’s announcement follows on the heels of the broker launching the MetaTrader 5 platform, which it revealed to Finance Magnates exclusively at the beginning of this month. As we highlighted at the time, with the addition of the MetaTrader 5 platform, the FX broker can now offer trading in bonds, shares, vanilla options, and other asset classes.
